Find and compare the best prices and deals on
The Outsiders at a reasonable price. No one was surprised when Francis Ford Coppola revisited
Apocalypse Now, but his overhaul of
The Outsiders raised a few eyebrows. Here was a modestly successful film better remembered for its Brat Pack cast than its Oscar-winning director, but
The Complete Novel succeeds in bringing more of S.E. Hinton's young adult classic to the screen along with Coppola's epic vision. The story remains the same: The working class greasers and wealthy Socs ("Socials") of Tulsa, OK, circa 1966, are at war. Despite the bigger names in the cast--Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe--the friendship between C. Thomas Howell's Ponyboy and Ralph Macchio's doomed Johnny is still the focus. If anything, Tom Cruise, as an obnoxious greaser, gives the least promising performance, while Matt Dillon (
Crash) as the unpredictable Dally and Diane Lane (
Unfaithful) as the beautiful Cherry provide a taste of the mature work to come. Aside from 22 minutes of restored footage (including a prologue and epilogue), which add heart and grandeur,
The Complete Novel includes several new rock and roll tracks, most by Elvis Presley. In the end, the revamped
Outsiders still plays like a cross between
Rebel Without a Cause and
The Last Picture Show--and that's a
good thing.
